IMPORTANT NOTICE

Viewers used to watch Free-To-Air TV channels
in
C-band at 26°East [BADR-C] need to
RE-POINT their dishes to 30.5°East 
as ALL C-band digital transmissions on this satellite
HAVE NOW CEASED


 


How to reset your dish from BADR-C to Arabsat-2B:

  1. Re-point your antenna from 26°East to 30.5°East
  2. To receive Arabsat-2B C-band signals using Circular Polarization (LHCP & RHCP) with a feedhorn set for the BADR-C linear polarization, simply:
  •  Create a "Dielectric Slab/Plate" by inserting a properly sized rectangular piece of Teflon, with a 45° angle into the circular throat.

It is recommended to seek the help of a professional satellite dish installer to do the work on your behalf.
